Jim, That's correct. Here for our DR system it normally runs as a two-way (2098-N02), but when we kick on the CBU it goes to a full power five-way (2098-Z05 with an extra zIIP). Since we have the lpar defined with the proper reserved CP's all we do is just the CF CPU(xx),ONLINE. No fuss, no muss, just config and go. We also do this with our Unisys systems too.

If I understand you right you're going with the old systems programmer Standard Reply #1, "It depends." Which is pretty much what we thought .

Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1:32 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Adding CPU engines without IPL Jim, we just turned a 706 into a 707. IBM's stuff works great. No issues. We also turned a 703 into a 603, no issues. Are your HMC IMAGE profiles defined with reserved engines? That's a requirement. After they get done just CF CPU(xx),ONLINE. As to the ISVs, we notified them. Some products care about the MSUs/MIPS, some care about model numbers, some only care about serial numbers. Some vendors thanked us and updated their records, some sent us new product keys.

IBM assures us that their stuff will work. Since we have the two engines in reserve our understanding is that we can simply configure them online without an IPL or Activate. My question is in two parts. Has anyone done this and were there any issues with third party products?
